I fondly recall posters like Obelix and certain others saying BU didn't have the recruiting chops to succeed here.

He didn't "produce" them. He borrowed them for a year. Same as most of the lottery picks from Duke, NC, and a few others.

Technically, they were produced by their parents. Cal just convinced them to take the bag from UK. Pope has the bag now. Can he make those dollars go farther?

Yeah, I hear ya, but based on highlight reels I'd love to have him. He's a "true" pg and suitably arrogant.

I have no doubt he could do very well here unfortunately he dont have the positional size and etc daddy brad is looking for. I just really hope he dont go to a rival big ten school and be a Jermy fears 2.0 but less dirty. But I have faith in coach finding the right player for his vision of what he wants. It really shows how great of a position coach has us in when were letting a possibly top 25 player walk because he doesn't fit our system and the fan base has been so mild about it just a little ways back the torches and mobs would of formed in full force thats true growth for the program. Great times ahead ILL

Are we really married to the positional size thing, or is it just a differentiating factor, all else being relatively equal? I have a hard time believing we'd pass on a top 20 kid because he isn't tall enough.

If he has entourage or attitude issues, maybe...

I thought we passed on Jeremy Fears because we wanted his brother, and they weren't going to play together due to both wanting to play point. (maybe I'm misremembering...)
